[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the overcrowding at West Springfield, it’s obviously something none of the FCPS planners predicted with its population going slightly downward a few years ago. In fact, one upscale neighborhood, Daventry was just moved from Lee (now Lewis) to West Springfield a couple years before the pandemic. So I doubt FCPS would move that specific neighborhood back to Lewis.

For boundaries to really change to alter demographics at schools like Lewis, feeder patterns would have to change for a large number of neighborhoods. But in recent years, since the South Lakes boundary change, FCPS has appeared to prefer building additions and pursuing renovations. Some stellar projects have come out of this (Oakton, langley, West Springfield, Falls Church in a couple years). [/quote]

They can’t afford to keep doing that. The renovation cycle is now over 40 years.  And they are projecting Lewis at just over 1400 in a few years. That’s about where South Lakes was when they moved kids there. [/quote]
